The Cost To Ship Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Overseas
We're checking out Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and the costs of shipping her stage equipment overseas! Swift's company, Firefly Entertainment, invested a significant amount to transport approximately 850 tons of equipment from the United Kingdom to the United States.
Currently on her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift invested over $15 million to ship stage equipment from the United Kingdom to the United States.
Her company, Firefly Entertainment, spent nearly $15.4 million, which includes insurance and freight, to transport approximately 850 tons (769,946 kilograms) of equipment from England to America, as detailed in a bill of lading available on ImportYeti, a searchable database of shipping documents.
According to the bill of lading, Nashville-based Firefly Entertainment collaborated with Fly By Nite Conferences in England to ship 90 twenty-foot equivalent units from the Port of Hamble to Port Everglades in Florida aboard the Nyk Romulus, a Singapore-flagged cargo vessel.
Rock It Cargo Import Services, based in Georgia and previously involved with Swift’s Reputation Tour in 2018, is listed as the shipment receiver.
The European leg of the Eras Tour kicked off on May 9 in Paris and concluded with a show in London on August 20. The Southampton port is located about 86 miles (138 kilometers) from London.
The bill of lading indicates that over 1,500 packages were transported, presumably for the upcoming leg of the Eras Tour. These items included lighting, lifts, audio and video equipment, props, dry cleaning equipment, wardrobe, and trees.
